Hey all,
I'm new to C++ and was wondering what the difference was between c++ and visual C++.
Also.. i've tried to install Microsoft Visual C++ studio and the files don't download to install. It keeps trying to reconnect.. anyway to get those manually?
thanks,
Steven

About "installing": what exactly did you try to download and install?
MS Visual C++ is a complete IDE i.e. editor, debugger, compiler & linker in one big package.
Maybe you should download the full ISO and install from that instead? Select All - Offline Install ISO image file on the download page. Also, if your internet connection is unstable a download manager like for instance http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ could be practical.
Ahhh ok so c++ is a language and vc++ is an application to compile c++ code?
VC++ is a set of applications to write, compile and link C++ code.
That's right. Such an application is generally called an IDE (Integrated Development Environment).Quote:
